Since 1997 Urban Projects has developed interesting and unique lighting solutions for historic buildings, urban spaces and for light based art installations. We offer a full range of lighting services from concept to calculation, manufacture to maintenance. You can find out more by following the links here or get in touch.

Interactive Urban Lighting

We create interactive colour changing floorscapes. We manufacture, supply, install and commission them. Click on the links in the project section to see more or see examples in Plymouth, Gravesend, Swansea, Gillingham, and Stockton.

Our floorscapes can be triggered by human presence, tides, text messages, web based data such as meteorology and share prices.

Historic Buildings

Many of our schemes are for listed buildings and scheduled monuments. Amongst these are Canterbury Castle, Dover Castle and The Royal Pavilion, Brighton. use the links above or get in touch to find out more.

Our lighting scheme for Rochester Castle is operational. For more information click here. We plan to write a series of articles on our approach to designing and implementing this scheme

Bespoke light fittings

Often we find there is not a perfect product to put the right amount of light where we want it. In these cases we have developed light fittings using our expertise in materials and manufacturing techniques to create a lighting package that is robust, long lived and suited to the lighting task we wish to undertake.

We make small LED base projectors, see our schemes for Madeira Lift and Brighton Bandstand. These are milled from solid materials such as copper or aluminium and contain LED light engines, with precise optical control for output longevity and optimal photometric performance.

We make in ground lighting for our floorscapes and individual lights that can be easily and cost effectively integrated into paving.
